Ever wonder what your guests and residents think about your building? If you’re anything like our customers, curating a building style is an ongoing mission. One big factor that influences a guest’s opinion is your elevator cab aesthetic.
The average elevator passenger takes four trips per day. That means they have plenty of time to take in your elevator interiors and see how well the cladding, floors, and finishings match your property as a whole. If the two vibes don’t jive, it can leave a poor impression.
That means knowing what your guests think about your elevator can have a big impact! It could make sense to upgrade those cabs before other building projects. Renovating a lobby, for example, might go to waste if your cab is from the 1990s.
One way to narrow down your next renovation is to see if your elevator cabs match the aesthetic of your building. To help you seamlessly integrate your cabs to the rest of your property, we’ve created a quick guide to the different types of aesthetics and where they best fit.
When residents step into this cab, they can tell it’s been through more than a few trips. The floors have that milky sheen from being washed for over a decade. The panels and cladding have scratches and other signs of wear. Maybe the handrails are loose and the overhead lighting flickers.
At K-Elevator, we see this elevator cab aesthetic often. It sets a mixed impression at best. That’s because it shows you take care of the property but, despite the new lobby or freshly paved parking lot, the renovations are clearly not complete.
K-Elevator Recommends: Any of the following updated styles.
When cleanliness is key to your property, then you want to make sure your elevator cab sparkles. Keeping a newer interior clean isn’t easier than Old Faithful, but it will look cleaner. Even budget cab materials boast impressive materials that are much easier on your patron’s eyes.
Thankfully, a clean and well-kept elevator cab can be had for a reasonable price. K-Elevators Vertical Series, for example, includes everything you need to quickly replace your old interiors. We can often install them within a day or two. They are ideal for clinics, shopping centers, and other public spaces.

With so many new condos going up across the country, it’s no surprise that residents are getting used to sleek elevator interiors. Trying to rent or sell a property can be a challenge when the ride up there feels like a trip back in time.
Impress your guests with a cab interior that feels just as modern and essential as the view from the penthouse. The horizontal series includes stainless steel and laminate finishings that are more in line with today’s styles and trends.
